Subject: Longest man-page?
Hello,
One time going through our not-so-friendly man-pages, I could not
believe that mplayer's man-page is over 6,000 lines long. Then I
checked gcc because I knew it couldn't be beaten, and there it was
with over 10,000 lines. Is there anything out there even larger?
Thanks...

Indeed, sometimes dramatically so:
<cjwatson/cairhien ~>$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/zshall.1.gz | wc -l
530
<cjwatson/cairhien ~>$ man zshall | wc -l
Reformatting zshall(1), please wait...
19798
(zshall(1) uses an include mechanism to pull in several other zsh* man
pages.)
